Lucille posted:Peak copper is actually a much more important concern than any of this stuff. Copper is the only material that's both common, conductive and magnetic. When copper peaks- which is very soon- almost all electronics and electrical generators will become increasingly difficult to manufacture. I'll move my estimate back from 2045 to 2025.
i didn't know copper was magnetic so i looked it up

You do not want a magnet inside your body, so never suck on a pipe that has a magnet in it.
thanks, bbc

Electric generators are essentially very large quantities of copper wire spinning around inside very large magnets, at very high speeds.
This is a case where magnets dont work without copper.

Well, I don't know what else to post. Most of the overt leftards like Crow, BHPN, Krinkle, Jools, and SariBari have mellowed out or left. As this forum becomes less and less political and my courseload becomes more and more, it'll probably get to the point where I'll have to stop posting entirely.
But I'll miss the irritation I caused.
and it's me; i'm the socialest
One thing I was considering talking about is the left's reactive anti-Americanism. Lets take the Gulf War as an example. Sure you can argue it was a bad precedent that led to the Iraq War, but if you support Sadaam's invasion you're still an airhead and its a good thing someone kicked him out.
Wilford_Brimley posted:Ilmidge, why not? You have a really easy copout. You can point out that the US told Iraq to invade Kuwait and the Gulf War was really just correcting its mistake.
Since you're not going to respond, I'm just going to point out that that's still a logical rabbithole. That argument effectively admits that the threat of US intervention was the only thing preventing Iraq from invading in the first place.
